Aphrohead

Aphrohead is the techno-focused project of Felix Stallings, the Chicago-born producer better known as Felix Da Housecat. Based in the United States, Stallings operates under multiple aliases including Thee Maddkatt Courtship and Sharkimaxx, with Aphrohead emerging as his dedicated vehicle for harder electronic sounds. The project launched in 2015 and represents a departure from his more mainstream house productions.

Aphrohead delivers peak time driving techno and tech house across labels including Crosstown Rebels, MB Elektronics, and Founders Of Filth. The sound sits firmly in the 125-130 BPM range, characterized by driving percussion and dark, warehouse-ready energy that contrasts with Stallings' more accessible Felix Da Housecat material. Between 2015 and 2019, the project released five records that showcase a consistent focus on dancefloor functionality over commercial appeal, making it essential listening for DJs seeking underground-leaning techno with proven Chicago pedigree.
